Bro just look at RA's history and it is not just a stew + yoman carry team. Stew has been inconsistent for RA he doesn't just carry every game. Viva on the other hand was by far their best + most consistent player during almost all of act 2
Don't underestimate the other cn players, you should've learnt that from Ardiss
I watched RA since they first formed and it's true that they had no success at first but it was evident they were already improving every match. I think it's unfair and a bit hindsight to say they wouldn't have had success later on anyway - especially since it was a new team who hadn't played with each other before. It's kinda expected that they will start slow then improve. And it's not like the players were bad at all, YiHao and Spitfires are both veterans - one who was on KONE (ex-2nd best CN team) and the other as a former teammate of KK. Then just look at where Mart1n and Viva are now, and they've only been playing since February which is insane.
That's already 4 very good players who can compete at an EDG-level, and have already done so. So I definitely don't agree that they'd be at an NIP level without the changes - and I think Mart1n and Viva's massive improvement would've happened either way - since you get players like B1ank, Kai & Lysoar coming out of nowhere. With that said though, yoman has been incredibly important as a very good IGL for RA, but I think even more credit should go to the KR coach. Without him I doubt RA would be top 3, but still very good - RA would invest into better coaching and maybe pick up a main duelist like Spring anyway. Sorry for the yap I have been rooting for RA as the dark horse since their early days so I have a lot to say, just kinda sad to see people think this team is just stew + yoman
